I. Charles G. LEWALLEN was born in 1853 in TN. He died ^{(11 & 20)} 20 May 1886 in Flippen Marion Co AR. His place of burial is unknown. He married Emily Angeline ALLEN 25 Dec 1876 in Marion Co, AR. She was the daughter of John ALLEN and Sarah Elizabeth VANCE. She died ⁽¹²⁾ 25 May 1924 at the home of her daughter in Bronson, Bourbon Co KS and was returned to Henniretta OK for burial.

Notes for Emily ALLEN LEWALLEN:
    As far as I know there is no existing document or source that proves Charlie and Emily's marriage date. However, their children all agreed that their parents were married on Christmas Day 1876 at her home. At the time of their marriage Charlie was 23 and Emily was 15.
    A short ten years later, at the age of 25, Emily found herself a widow and the mother of five fatherless children, ranging from two months to nine years of age.
    I haven't yet received Charlie's Homestead File, but according to the Bureau of Land Management a patent to the property was issued, in Charlie's name, 23 Feb 1888 - two years after his death. Apparently Emily fulfilled the remaining requirements by herself. On the 1891 Marion Co Property Tax List Emily is shown as the owner of 40 acres of Charlie's original 120 acres and her father-in-law Joseph G Lewallen as the owner of the other 80 acres.
    A year after Charlie's death, over in Jimmys Creek township, Eli Henry McCracken's wife Belle passed away leaving Henry a 33 year old widower and the father of five motherless children ranging from a few months old to 8 years. There are no family stories about how Emily and Henry met, but Marion County's population wasn't very large in 1887. In any event the widow and the widower did meet and on ⁽¹⁵⁾ 15 Nov 1888 they married at Emily's home in Flippin. Emily was often heard to say it was like she suddenly had five sets of twins. Her children ranged in age from 2 to 11 years and Henry's ranged in age from 2 to 10 years.
    According to Emily's oldest boys the family Henry and his five children moved into Emily's house in Flippin. It is said in the family that Henry taught school and farmed, but supporting a family of 12 wasn't easy and it was even harder after the couple had another four children.
    Between July 1897 and the end of 1899 the family packed up and moved to Indian Territory. ⁽¹⁶⁾ My grandmother Virgie told many stories about that two month wagon trip. I have no doubt her thirteen year old perspective was much different than Emily's!
    After arriving in Indian Territory Emily gave birth to three more children making her the mother of thirteen children (although two of those children died as infants) and the step-mother of five.
    Times in Indian Territory were hard and my grandmother and her siblings' strongest memories were of never having enough to eat. No one went without food, but enough food to satisfy everyone was a different story.
    By 1924 Emily had been ill for quite some time (according to her letters to her Virgie). In Mar of 1924 Emily traveled to the home of her daughter Lucy in Bronson Kansas and passed away on ⁽¹²⁾ Mar 26th. Her body was shipped back to Oklahoma and she was buried in Henniretta, Oklahoma.

II. Ellen LEWALLEN was born on 3 Apr 1854 in TN. She died on 27 Nov 1945. She married Joshua Starr JENKINS in probably Marion Co AR

Notes for Ellen LEWALLEN:
    Starr Jenkins is listed in the landowner maps (here on the Marion Co site) as owner of land in Sec 7 TS19N R15W. By 1891 Ellen is listed as the owner of this property. Apparently Starr had died by 1891.

III. Theodocia "Docia" LEWALLEN was born in 1858 in AR. She married Biles Thompson. According to family lore the couple moved to Indian Territory.

IV: Henry C. LEWALLEN was born ca 1860 in Independence Co, AR and died 2 Aug 1889 ⁽²⁰⁾ in Marion Co.

Notes for Henry C. LEWALLEN:
    Mt. Echo Newspaper, 23 Aug 1889 Issue: FLIPPIN ITEMS: "Mr. Henry Lewallen, one of Marion's best citizens, departed this life August 2nd, aged 29 years. He bore his two years suffering without a murmur, and left evidence of a bright hope beyond. To his many friends and relatives we tender our sincerest sympathy. W. H. White"

V: Wesley P "Doc" LEWALLEN was born 17 May 1862 ⁽²⁰⁾ in AR. He died 18 Oct 1943 in Canadian, Pittsburg Co, OK. ⁽¹⁷⁾ He marrried 1st ⁽¹⁸⁾ Josephine (Jossie) FLIPPIN 26 Mar 1886; 2nd Ann DILL. Josephine (Josie) was born 29 Apr 1862, ⁽²⁰⁾ daughter of Thomas H. P. Flippin and Mary M Summers. She died 21 Jul 1895 ⁽²⁰⁾ and her death was reported in the Mt. Echo newspaper (I haven't yet located the article).

Notes for Wesley P LEWALLEN:
    Some online family trees give Wesley's middle name as Pershing.
     Wesley was often mentioned in the Mt. Echo Newspaper and was apparently active in county affairs. In Jul 1890 the Echo reported that Wesley was teaching school in Flippin. By Oct 1890 the Echo was reporting that Wesley was clerking in the store of H. A. Young and by Nov the Echo reported Wesley had moved into Yellville.
    In Jan 1889 Joseph Lewallen, Wesley's father, filed a mining claim for Wesley. The mine was located beside of one of Joseph's.
    Josie died in July of 1895 and perhaps because of Josie's death Wesley entered medical school. According to the Medical School Alumni Database (http://www.library.louisville.edu/kornhauser/gfdb/l.asp) Wesley attended the Kentucky School of Medicine, Louisville, KY from 1895-1901. (As a side note - Wesley's brother William B Lewallen attended school with him in 1895.) Where Wesley practiced medicine between his granduation in 1901 and 1903 when he was listed in the 1903-1904 Standard Medical Directory as a physician in Canadian (population 522) Choctaw Nation is unknown. From 1903 until his death in 1943 Wesley practiced medicine in Canadian, OK ⁽¹⁹⁾
    The University of Oklahoma's Western History Manuscript collection has custody of Wesley's Patient Account Ledgers (1904-1932) and his Daybook (1926-1930).

VII. William B. LEWALLEN was born 12 May 1869 in AR and died 1 Nov 1911 in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas. He married Laura Bell WICKERSHAM Jul 1892. She was born 12 Aug 1873 in AR and died 24 Jun 1927 in Bonham, Fannin County, Texas

More on William B LEWALLEN:
    Mt. Echo Newspaper, Jul 29, 1892 Issue: "Will Lewallen and Miss Bell Wickersham surprised their many friends by quietly getting married last Thursday night. Rev. Thomas Wilson officiating. The Echo wishes the happy couple all the happiness possible." (same issue) Marriages: W. B. Lewallen, Union, 23 - Laura Bell Wickersham, Union, 25
    According to the Medical School Alumni Database (http://www.library.louisville.edu/kornhauser/gfdb/l.asp) William (along with his brother Wesley) attended the Kentucky School of Medicine, Louisville, KY in 1895. The website shows William attending only in 1895, but he must have attended medical school for longer than one year because by 1900 (and up to his death) William and Belle were living in Bonham City, Fannin County, Texas and William's occupation was listed as Physician. Both William & Laura are buried in Willow Wood Cemetery in Bonham, TX.
